Domestic abuse campaigns

Here we identify the most recent campaign targeted at raising awareness of domestic abuse. See Domestic abuse campaigns for further information.

'Sorry's not enough' campaign

Sorry's not enough provides support throughout County Durham and Darlington. The aims are simple - to raise awareness that there is no excuse for abuse, that victims will be treated with dignity and provided with the help they need and that anyone who is committing abuse will be brought to account for their actions. There is no excuse for abuse.

Clare's Law - the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme

The Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme, known as Clare's Law gives you a formal mechanism to make inquiries:

if you are concerned that your partner may pose a risk to you

if you're concerned that the partner of a member of your family or a friend may pose a risk to that individual.

The scheme allows the police to disclose information about a partner's previous history of domestic violence or violent acts. To find out more about Clare's Law and information on how to make an application visit Clare's Law - the domestic violence disclosure scheme.
